well i went car boot sale at the week end and got sum new tools a set of m3 taps for £ 2.50 a assortment of BA taps for £1 a file for 50p and a set of No 10 record pipe wrench for 50p once it had bin in the bath it come out good i just went daft with the red pant right pics

Good to see you back at the Boot sales Bob , not too bad a haul , did you drop that wrench in the paint bucket ? , The knurl is on its way I am looking forward to good weather to get some serious booting done ........so is John DB , he tried Hexham yesterday but indoors ............ its hopeless when its inside lol Cheers Mick.

I've been busy lately but i've still found time to get to the boot sales. I'm also skint now after my computer died and I had to replace the thing with the rest of my money.

Got these last week. I was desperate to find a blower last year but didn't find a single one, and of course this year i've already seen about 5. Also more rust to add to my collection.

Got these today. I just beat a guy to them and I think the seller sold them cheap to spite the guy, since he supposedly had gone for a walk to think about the price. I'm not sure if I should feel more or less guilty with that in mind..

Oh, I got one of these from "Stanley" - very old 45-50 years, I beleave !

It's THE Tool for strait slottet screws - really a nice pease of Tool

I've been looking for one for a while and this is the first i've seen that wasn't rusted solid or missing parts. It does work great for slotted screws but all the ones I use are posidrive. I was thinking of making some kind of adapter for standard hexagonal bits

Ofcause you can make such an adaptor and it's a nice and highly useable idea maybe I'll make one too - you often have a Little MORE control with a last Little twist with the hand.

BUT using modern electric screw machine to a strait slottes screw is NOT WORKING - but the other way around is OK !

I use my "Stanley drill" only for strait slotted screws and it's working really fine !
